【正文】 festyles. It describes how the theme of health in the picturesque debates of eighteenth century England (including such concepts as ?active curiosity?) was taken up and developed in arguments for the nieenth century urban park movement in England and North America. Recent theories on the mechanisms behind health benefits of nature and access to landscape are pared with claims made in the nieenth century and earlier. The importance of access to the landscape appears to be as relevant as ever in the context of modern urban lifestyles but the need for better evidence and understanding remains. This paper takes such themes and looks back in history to understand how links between landscape and health have been described, conceptualized and explained in the past. The focus is on positive associations between health and landscape, rather than on environmental hazards and pollutants or on negative experiences of wilderness and nature, and it explores the role of the landscape as a salutogenic context, not simply as a therapeutic place for those who are ill. While standards of evidence demanded for public policy and practice today are different from those of previous centuries, people have identified connections between the landscape and health throughout history, and attempted to understand the mechanisms and reasons behind this relationship. A recurring characteristic in these descriptions of paradise is the healthful nature of the garden, supporting human beings in every way, providing delight to every sense. They go beyond descriptions of landscapes that merely provide physical sustenance – food and water – to places important for all aspects of human wellbeing and that appear to resonate throughout history as an ideal kind of landscape for living. What is of particular interest for the themes of this paper, however, is the recognition of the restorative and preventative health benefits to be obtained from gardens and the wider landscape for the healthy as well as the sick. The therapeutic nature of landscape experience and the basis of responses to that experience were themes taken up even more avidly by humanist philosophy and the aesthetic debates of the eighteenth and nieenth centuries. In the eighteenth century, the arguments tended to focus on the benefits to be obtained for the privileged few in society. More recent historical attitudes note how landscape and health are seen as interconnected issues of concern for all levels of society. We see, in the parks movement, less emphasis on the psychological and emotional benefits of landscape and more on physical health and prevention of disease as the primary aim of access to parks and green spaces. What is interesting about the arguments put forward by Olmsted and his contemporaries for the health benefits of parks is that they bring together the earlier, eighteenth century ideas about mental relief with the more pragmatic desire to counter disease and physical illhealth. This research not only confirms the nieenth century belief
